Guardiola vows to carry on wearing yellow ribbon in defiance of FA charge

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he will continue to wear a yellow ribbon in support of imprisoned Catalan politicians because he is "a human being before a manager".

Four Catalan leaders are in prison for rebellion and sedition following October's referendum on independence for the region, which was ruled illegal by Spain.

Guardiola, the former Barcelona captain and coach and a Catalan native, was this week charged by the Football Association with "wearing a political message" but nevertheless wore the ribbon again at Wembley for Sunday's Carabao Cup final.
